I was getting some new hours keys cut and asked the locksmith what he thought.
He was fiddling with it and half way through the sentence, “No idea really, just keep fiddling ... oops, there it is!”
When I asked what he did, he said, “No idea!”
His one piece of advice was that, when putting it back, to make sure it was fully seated before turning it.
This was supposed to be a budget resurrection, but the mission-creep has been considerable as has the cost. I decided to powder coat all the chrome bits as the poor man’s alternative. Not as good-as-new, but substantially better than “as-was”.
